Description

The Site Reliability Engineering Foundation® (SREF) Certification Training introduces the principles and practices necessary for organizations to effectively scale critical services with reliability and efficiency. Implementing a site reliability engineering approach entails organizational realignment, a heightened emphasis on engineering and automation, and embracing new operational paradigms.

This course explores the evolution of SRE and its future trajectory. It equips participants with practices, methodologies, and tools to engage various stakeholders across the organization in matters of reliability and stability, using real-life scenarios and case studies as illustrations. Upon completing the course, participants will gain practical insights they can apply immediately, such as understanding, establishing, and monitoring Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
